Baseball Instruction/Defensive Responsibilities

Question
Dennis

I coach a AA little league team and I am looking for some help with defensive
responsibilities for each player.  I played in high school and college, so I think
I know what most fielders should do with the ball and who should back up
whom in most situations.  However, is this stuff written up anywhere?  I would
love to be able to hand out a hard copy (or provide a url) to each player (and
perhaps more importantly their parents).

Any/all help appreciated!
Terry

Answer
Hey Terry,

Here's a great website..for this
http://www.qcbaseball.com/situations/cutoff1.aspx
Look on the column on the left of the screen and click on it..
You will get a diagram and explanation on each play..
Cut-offs are a little different depending on the age group..
Good Luck,,
Dennis
